All liquid runs through the tubes, so nothing is harmed.Originally Posted by CWrite78

You need to plan out where you want everything to go and run, ie; tubes, fluid reservoir, fan, power supply, etc. It is really easy to maintain, you just need to change the fluid every 1.5-2 years or so. What i've noticed is that somehow the fluid slowly evaporates overtime, i'm guessing from the heat but i just buy more. When i change fluid, i drain out the old and place in the freezer so i can re use next time i swap out fluids again.
ah i see, i've always wanted to know how it worked. where exactly do you place the tubes though? wouldn't it cause some shock since it'll be running near electricity?
At first, i looked at the box and the manual..it looked complicated as hell. But then, it was basically just screwing in the water block onto theCPU and place the reservoir and radiator somewhere, took measurements and cut the tubes to right size. I'd say it was very time consuming, about a littleover an hour of work, not hard at all. Once liquid was in reservoir, everything worked perfectly, no problems here. Oh yeah, you can get a really good computernowadays, not just because of the economy but also because of the new i7 processors.Originally Posted by CWrite78

i see, i appreciate the info. was it hard to install?
Don't do it bro
$136 each ? They look huge, what sz are they ?
If you're a serious hardcore gamer gamer, I'd say go for anything AMD since they're more gamer friendly compared to Intel processors.Get a dual core processor, so that means if you want an AMD choose anything that says X2 or if Intel choose anything says core 2 or core duo. If you want thequad core processors you would need to look for AMD Phenons and Intel Core 2 Quads or the newer version Intel Core i7. But if you're choosing AMD overIntel, its best you use graphics that are ATI related, since its more compatible and that AMD sponsors ATI graphics as a partnership. Any graphics card that isover 512 MB is good enough, i can't recommend anything since i barely do any games since my card is only meant for high video editing. Same for games, onlygood game i've played were Crises, Counterstrike, and Need for SpeedOriginally Posted by RKO2004
Whats good with motherboards and processors? I have some links so if y'all could recommend some that would be great?

I was looking at the EVGA brand, how are they?
Oh yeah and what are some good PC games. I mostly like shooters. Halo, COD etc etc.
Oh and as for modems, I have the internet one from RR but I see peeps with these alot...
Is there anything to gain by having one of these?
Core i7's are awesome as well as cheap as hell, but the DDR3 ram and compatible motherboards are extremely expensive, which is why most peoplecontinue to buy dual and quad cores instead.
why do people still think this? when it comes to gaming Intel spanks AMD.
